You must decide which services best suit your needs. The FCC does not maintain a list of, or recommend, any particular legal services or broadcast engineering consultants, but many of these services do advertise on the Internet and in trade publications. Most applicants retain legal counsel and broadcast engineering consultants to perform frequency searches and help prepare the legal and technical portions of construction permit applications. Legal and Engineering Assistance in the Preparation of Construction Permit Applications for Licensed Stations. Fines and/or criminal prosecution may result from illegal operation of an unlicensed station (see a sampling of recent enforcement actions). ( See the Commission's JPublic Notice, which is still in effect.) Unlicensed operation is not permitted in the television bands (including 87.9 MHz, which falls within the 82.0 to 88.0 Channel 6 television band). The only unlicensed operation that is permitted on the AM and FM broadcast bands is covered under Part 15 of the FCC's rules, and is limited to a coverage radius of approximately 200 feet. Please be aware that unlicensed operation of radio broadcast stations is prohibited, even at low powers such as 1 watt or less. A very common question asked of the FCC is whether broadcasting at very low power requires a license. However, those frequencies are reserved for existing stations that were causing significant interference in the lower part of the band. The AM band was expanded from 1600 to 1700 kHz in the 1990s after years of international negotiations. The FM band is constrained from expanding above 107.9 MHz by the presence of aeronautical operations on 108 MHz to 136 MHz, and is also prevented from expanding below 88.1 MHz by Channel 6 television operations on 82.0 through 88.0 MHz. For that reason, we do not recommend that you purchase any equipment before receiving a construction permit from the FCC.Įxpansion of the AM or FM radio bands is Unlikely. In many areas of the country, no frequencies may be available on which a new station could begin operating without causing interference to existing stations, a violation of FCC rules. Filing an application does not guarantee you will receive a broadcast station construction permit. When application filing window periods open for new stations, many competing applications are filed.

Potential applicants for radio and television services should be aware that frequencies for these services are always in heavy demand.
